1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundThe optimal time to initiate parenteral nutrition (PN) in critically ill adults in whom enteral nutrition is not feasible is controversial.

objectiveThe objectives were to compare in-hospital mortality and hospital length of stay in patients initiated on PN within 7 days or after 7 days of poor nutrient intake.

methodsThis single-center, retrospective study included critically ill adult patients who received at least 2 consecutive days of PN during hospitalization from May 2014 to July 2016.

resultsThe median duration of PN (interquartile range) was 8 (5-13) days. In total, 110 patients received PN within 7 days of poor nutrient intake while 49 patients received PN after 7 days of poor nutrient intake. There was no statistically significant difference in in-hospital mortality between groups (29.09% vs 18.37%,

conclusionsTime to initiation of PN did not impact in-hospital mortality. However, there was an association between early initiation of PN and a shorter hospital length of stay that was most pronounced among obese patients.
